Projectile Motion Defined
Projectile motion is the motion of any object launched into the air and it is acted
only upon by the force of gravity. The object that is thrown is called a projectile, and its
path is called trajectory. The trajectory follows a curved path which is parabolic.
Every projectile motion has two components: vertical and horizontal motion. The
horizontal component is uniform motion. The vertical component is free fall. This
means that if air resistance is neglected, a projectile moves horizontally at a constant
speed as it falls vertically with acceleration due to gravity, 9.8 m/s2.These two
components are completely independent of each other. Therefore, the horizontal and
vertical motion can be treated separately.
Activity 3: Let Us Apply
As for acceleration, horizontal motion is zero, for there is no change in
velocity per second. And the acceleration of vertical motion is equivalent to
acceleration due to gravity which is constant at 9.8 m/s2 (Earth’s gravity).

Many games and sporting events that you play involve flying objects or balls.
Basketball, volleyball, and sepak takraw are some examples wherein you observe the
curve paths of flying objects in mid-air. This curve is what naturally happens when an
object, called a projectile, moves in two dimensions-having both horizontal and vertical
motion components, acted by gravity only. In Physics, this is called projectile motion.

Projectile motion is defined as the motion of an object that is thrown or
projected into the air in which gravity is the only force acting on it. (Neglecting
air resistance). Projectile is the term for the object that shows a projectile
motion. The path covered by a projectile is called a trajectory which is a
parabolic or curve-like figure. The trajectory of a projectile launched at an
angle is symmetrical, which means that, there is an equal size on both sides of
the parabola. The distance from the point the object is released up to the highest
point it reached on air is the maximum height of a projectile, while the range is
the horizontal distance covered by a projectile. The angle of projection is the
angle between the initial velocity and the horizontal plane where the object is
thrown.
